Rigby Rivers a Straight Against Spunt
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Steven Spunt opened to 60,000 with J♠6♠ in the small blind, picking up a call by Nicholas Rigby with the 2♥2♦. A first barrel for 50,000 was called by Rigby, who came along on the 3♥ turn as well when Spunt bet another 125,000.
Spunt checked the 6♦ river and almost snap-called a hefty bet of 500,000 by Rigby before he noticed the sizing. One minute later, Spunt made the call and was shown the bad news.
